About The Gamer Shopping

We collect, gift and decorate with this stuff ourselves. If merch is cheap junk with a logo slapped on, we'll tell you.

Every holiday, someone buys a gamer a mug with a controller on it. It goes straight into the cupboard. We'd like to help stop that.

We collect figures, wear the hoodies, build the shelves and sit in the chairs. If a statue's paint job is sloppy or a licensed tee fades after two washes, it shows up in the review.

Gift guides here are sorted by budget and by the kind of player you're shopping for, because a Souls fan and a cozy farming fan don't want the same thing.

Have a great find or a gift horror story? Tell us on the contact page.
